It depends. The blood that is being carried away from to the body is oxygenated blood and the blood that is being carried away from the heart and heading towards the lungs is called deoxgenated blood. OXYGENATED blood has a high percentage of oxygen and deoxygenated blood has a low percentage of oxygen.

Arteries go towards the heart and veins go away the heart?
Arteries carry blood away from the heart, veins carry blood to the heart
Do arteries carry blood from capillaries to the heart?
Arterioles carry blood in the direction away from the heart. The order of vessels from the heart is: arteries>arterioles>capillaries>venules>veins.
Are veins and arteries an organ of the heart?
No. The heart is one organ in itself. Veins and arteries are just vessels that transport blood to and from the heart. To be specific, the veins transport the blood towards the heart, and arteries transport it away.

What is the major difference between arteries and veins?
Arteries carry blood away from the heart. Veins return blood to the heart.
How does the direction blood travels in arteries and veins differ?
the blood in the arteries in oxygenated and is flowing away from the heart throughout the body tyo give your cells oxygen. the blood in the veins has had its oxygen depleted by your cells and is travelling back to the heart and lungs to get more oxygen
Arteries and veins carry blood to and from the heart in what system?
Arteries veins and capillaries carry blood to and from the Heart in the Circulatory System.
Arteries go towards the heart and veins go away the heart?
Arteries carry blood away from the heart, veins carry blood to the heart

Is an Artery a blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart to the body?
Generally speaking, arteries carry oxygenated blood while veins carry de-oxygenated blood. Cells in your body need the oxygen carried by arteries, so the heart pumps it away from the heart, towards the other organs in your body.After the organs use the oxygen in the blood, it is carried back to your heart and lungs by the veins.

What are the three blood tubes and what do they do?
